Development of betulinic acid as an agonist of TGR5 receptor using a new in vitro assay
BACKGROUND G-protein-coupled bile acid receptor 1, also known as TGR5 is known to be involved in glucose homeostasis. In animal models, treatment with a TGR5 agonist induces incretin secretion to reduce hyperglycemia. Betulinic acid, a triterpenoid present in the leaves of white birch, has been introduced as a selective TGR5 agonist. However, direct activation of TGR5 by betulinic acid has not ...
متن کاملFarnesyl pyrophosphate regulates adipocyte functions as an endogenous PPARγ agonist
The cholesterol biosynthetic pathway produces not only sterols but also non-sterol mevalonate metabolites involved in isoprenoid synthesis. Mevalonate metabolites affect transcriptional and post-transcriptional events that in turn affect various biological processes including energy metabolism. In the present study, we examine whether mevalonate metabolites activate PPARγ (peroxisome-proliferat...
متن کاملSpinally mediated analgesic interaction between γ-aminobutyric acid B receptor agonist and glutamate receptor antagonists in rats
Background. Many mechanisms are involved in pain transmission in the spinal cord. Therefore, combination of drugs acting on different kinds of mechanisms might be useful for analgesia. We investigated the interaction betweenγ-aminobutyric acid （GABA）B receptor agonist, baclofen, and N-methyl-D-aspartate （NMDA） receptor antagonist, AP-5, orα-amino-3-hydroxy-5-methylisoxazole-4-propionic acid ...
متن کاملThe αvβ5 integrin functions as an endocytic receptor for vitronectin
Endocytosis and degradation of vitronectin by human skin fibroblasts are regulated by the β5 integrin. To determine whether the β5 integrin is directly mediating the internalization of vitronectin, both vitronectin and the β5 integrin were localized by indirect immunofluorescence during the endocytic process. This analysis showed that both vitronectin and β5 were found in intracellular vesicles...
متن کاملSR 144528, an antagonist for the peripheral cannabinoid receptor that behaves as an inverse agonist.
In the present report, we investigated in detail the effects of SR 144528, a selective antagonist of the peripheral cannabinoid receptor (CB2), on two well-characterized functions mediated by CB2: the induction of the early response gene krox24 and the inhibition of adenylyl cyclase. We generated Chinese hamster ovary cells doubly transfected with human CB2 and a luciferase reporter gene linked...
